What is your "Best Of"?

Let's say you wanted to educate someone who knows nothing or very little about music, and you had to create a compilation or "Best Of". Of course we are talking about the most relevant artists/bands in the past 50 years. The catch: You can only pick 10 songs.

Sexcellent!! I had denial twist on my list by the way. Also, GREAT call on the ones in bold. Hearing "the union forever" live was INtense, and I would give my left nut for a no holds-barred free for all version of Little Acorns

Re: What is your "Best Of"?

1. I approve of this thread, as is.

2. However, this thread would be improved considerably if people actually made the mixes described and uploaded them and posted links to the upload. That way, when Passive posts his Maroon 5 list, we can all dl and listen to it and hear what we've been missing.

2. The Kids Are Alright
3. Substitute
4. Magic Bus
5. We're Not Gonna Take It / See Me Feel Me
